Study Of Assessment Of PH Of Plaque And Saliva And Its Correlation With Dental Caries Index - An In-Vivo Study

: Salivary pH is taken as an indicator in many local and systemic disorders. The influence of salivary pH and its buffering capacity do not have a proportionate effect on the reduction in the risk of dental caries. Studies have shown prophylactic measures in the form of mouthwashes do not benefit the patient unless the plaque is periodically removed professionally. The aim of the study is to conduct an in vivo study to correlate the relation of dental plaque pH and salivary plaque pH and correlate with the dental caries index.
